Leeland - Tears of the Saints - Ministry Videos

Behind the Song:
Leeland Mooring says it was a Sunday afternoon during a quiet devotional time that he sensed what he calls a presence of God. â€œI was playing piano, just worshiping, and I asked in prayer, â€˜God, just give me your heart for the lost.â€™â€ It was a hope to feel the longing God feels for people struggling to find their way. â€œAnd then I started cryingâ€”it was as if God gave me a little glimpse of his heart,â€ Leeland continues. â€œâ€˜Tears of the Saintsâ€™ came out, and itâ€™s about how for every person who is out there lost there is probably about five people praying for them.â€ More, the track illuminates the vision the band has for its ministry. â€œWe want to see kids saved,â€ the songwriter affirms. â€œWhatâ€™s awesome about this song live, is how it touches people,â€ bassist Jake Holtz adds. â€œThe Lord is just blessing people. You can see change coming across their faces. Itâ€™s nothing weâ€™re doing. Godâ€™s just working through us with this song.â€
